What does creepy child porn communities have to do with gay marriage?

Someone mentioned reddit (a know pedophile hangout), which then someone else mentioned 4chan (a know pedophile hangout), wich then someone mentioned 8chan (a know pedophile hangout) and finally someone posted a picture of gamergate art as Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid V a game noted to have child soldiers and your inability to kill them but you can kidnap save those children from the battle field.

In other-words, this had nothing to do with gay marriage and its just a stupid derail.

Although the discussion went quite off-topic, this is an unfortunate argument with a lot of people who are against gay marriage, and basically believe things like allowing gay couples to adopt children is tantamount to handing children over to sadistic rapists. Humans are terrible at convincing themselves correlations exist where there is only coincidence (see also: one or two stories about [insert random minority here] committing a random, heinous crime means all people of that minority group are predisposed to that crime since they're clearly a hive mind and should immediately be deported/put into camps/etc.)

If she interferes with marriage licenses she goes directly to jail, does not pass go, does not collect wingnut welfare.

If she doesn't interfere then nothing happens because so long as licenses are being issued the judge doesn't give a gently caress what she does.

I'm bettin' she'll try to stop her clerks from issuing licenses and get tossed back in the slammer by an increasingly short-tempered Judge Bunning. Eventually she'll either resign or, less likely, get impeached and become a minor celebrity on the curbstomp circuit for a short time.

My prediction is that she allows her clerks to take care of the licenses when needed, and posts a sign saying she won't do it personally, or some other type of passive-aggressive move.

Such as? This is a binary thing. Either gay couples get marriage licenses or they don't. It's not like she can find some loophole and the judge has to shuffle his feet and say "aw shucks Ms. Davis you sure pulled one over on me!"

If gay couples don't get their licenses she (and her clerks/office) will be in violation of the order.

My guess is that she'll do whatever she can to make it so that couples seeking licences are humiliated and inconvenienced...without actually prohibiting her deputy clerks from actually issuing the license.

poo poo like making them sit down and talk with her first, but then making them sit around and wait for her to be available, and then shuffling them around the office for as long as possible before depositing them in front of one of the deputies.

SNATTER'S ALIVE?!?!
Plan A: Shout JESUS! Very Loudly didn't work and landed her in jail. So next they'll go to Plan B, which goes as follows:

* Davis's lawyers have an appeal of Bunning's injunction active, seeking to reduce its scope to only the original four couples and claiming that Bunning didn't have the necessary jurisdiction to make it apply to all license-seekers.

* Simultaneously, they appealed for Judge Bunning to order Governor Beshear to exempt her by removing her name from the licenses, only to be told that Bunning did not have jurisdiction for that and that they should submit the matter to Kentucky state court.

* Neither argument is going anywhere. The former is stalling for time, the latter is futile as Beshear knows that if he gives in and grants the exemption, not only is it a win for Davis but every other fundie in the state will expect similar treatment. However, as long as any legal gambits are in play, she will claim that the law is unsettled and the appeals must progress and in the meantime, she is still in charge and nobody gets licenses from her office.

Then we'll see how nasty she'll decide to get when deputies say "gently caress her, I'll issue them."

I, too have the attention span of a gnat and after ten minutes of introduction got tired of waiting for him to get to the point already. Is it basically the same thing as in one of his early comments, that Leviticus only applied in a specific context and since that context isn't present anymore the laws no longer apply?

No. It's a long and heart-felt description of his journey from believing that homosexuality is capital-W Wrong, to realizing that love and inclusion is what Jesus would have wanted. He talks about having taken the word of his parents, and his church elders, and his community, without having himself studied the question of homosexuality in the Bible. He tells of counseling his congregants on a wide variety of issues, and how he always felt that he was able to offer them love, and guidance, and help to improve their lives. He speaks movingly about how that was not the case with congregants who came to him with issues of same-sex attraction. He describes how time and again, he felt that he was sending them away in fear and in pain, rather than in love and in hope. He reflects on how terrible it was to feel that he was sentencing people to lives of loneliness, and telling them they could never allow themselves to fall in love, or to have the emotional and physical intimacy that they obviously craved. He questions why, of all the things he believes, and of all advice he gives based on his religious beliefs, he feels like he is doing harm instead of help when he is counseling on this one issue.

Pastor Cortez goes on to talk about interacting with gay members of his congregation and his community. He says that he had a long list of Biblical things to study, and that homosexuality was low on the list. Then, a lesbian woman in the church pleaded with him to move it to the top, and he did. He tells of his attempts to understand the historical context (he does go into that, but it's not as simple as in your question), and to understand what Biblical authors, such as Paul in Romans, were really saying in their writings. Caligula makes an appearance. The pastor talks about his gradual awakening, and one day asking himself, "Do I no longer believe this?" Three quarters of the way through, a very personal angle enters the story, but the buildup is important.

It's pretty great, and I was moved.

Kim Davis posted:

"[cut off] remedy, which reconciles my conscience with Judge Bunning's orders, effective immediately, and until an accomodation is provided by those with the authority to provide it, any marriage license issued by my office will not be issued or authorized by me."

This sounds a whole lot like she might be going back to jail since the deputies derive their authority to issue licenses from the clerk unless there's a technicality here I'm not seeing.

So the deal is she and her son won't issue licenses, but she won't stop her deputies from doing so. If that's true, she's not going back to jail. This position is the one she rejected last week just before the judge threw her in jail for contempt. Presumably if it was good enough for the judge then, it remains good enough now.

For anyone saying she's "getting paid for not doing anything", keep in mind that her office actually does a lot more than issue marriage licenses.

Still lovely, but she's not shirking her only duty or something.
